Chapter I: General Information
DIVERSITY
Mount Sinai is committed to promoting and supporting diversity at all levels in the working and learning environments and to meeting the needs of the diverse body of students, faculty, staff, and communities we serve.
Diversity in the health professions workforce benefits every aspect of health care. Addressing the needs of our increasingly multicultural and ethnically diverse patient population at Mount Sinai makes it essential that patients have increased access to physicians who share their ethnic heritage. Further, interacting with a diverse peer group is important for students, house staff, and faculty for effectively managing cross–cultural patient presentations and impacting on health outcomes.
